Chapter 438: Chapter 438: 438: From Now On, We’ll Never Meet Again

“Li Beiting, ever since high school, you’ve been controlling me, forbidding me from pursuing this major. When have you ever respected me? We’ve fought over this for two years. Let’s just call it quits today; if it’s over, it’s over.”

“Yu Weiwei…”

Li Beiting called her name helplessly. He simply couldn’t argue with Yu Weiwei; every time he tried to speak, the words he wanted to say were interrupted by her.

“Enough, Li Beiting. Be a man and speak plainly. Starting today, let’s not see each other again!” Yu Weiwei didn’t give Li Beiting any chance to retort.

Originally, he was the one who pursued her, but repeatedly, he was the one who brought up breaking up.

She, Yu Weiwei, had had enough.

And today, his actions were even more outrageous.

Without saying a word, he had thrown her books into the river, showing no respect for her feelings.

“Yu Weiwei, don’t be so unreasonable. I told you not to study this major for a reason. You’re a girl, what will people think if you study this?”

“Li Beiting, are you still living in the last century? What’s wrong with this major? Please take science seriously! Let me tell you, there are lots of girls in our class; are you saying they can’t all get married? Don’t think that I, Yu Weiwei, won’t be wanted by anyone else after leaving you.”

“Fine, Yu Weiwei, you’re capable, you’re beautiful. After breaking up with me, there will be a bunch of guys chasing after you, right?”

“Yes, breaking up is my freedom! I’ve had enough of this life! With you, there’s no such thing as freedom! After we break up, I can focus on my studies, follow what I desire, and have a beautiful romance. So, the sooner we break up, the better off I’ll be.”

“Yu Weiwei, have you been thinking about breaking up for a long time now?”

“Yes, I’ve wanted to break up for a long time!”

“Fine, if to you it’s a relief, then let’s break up.”

“Li Beiting, let’s be clear, from now on, please Mr. Li, don’t come looking for Yu Weiwei at the Medical College. Did you hear me?”

“Heh, after breaking up, why would I bother to look for you? Let’s never see each other again!”

Li Beiting’s words were emphatic, tinged with clear anger.

But, as soon as he uttered the last few words, Li Beiting’s heart began to ache.

Yu Weiwei was stunned too, as if another slap had struck her face.

Time stood still, and no sound could be heard around them.

After a long, long time, Yu Weiwei finally spoke.

“Fine, let’s never see each other again for a lifetime. We agreed, whoever goes back on their word is a dog.”

For some reason, Yu Weiwei’s voice choked as she said this.

What’s a lifetime anyway? Who you spend it with doesn’t change the fact that you’re living it.

She really was fed up with Li Beiting!

“Then let’s break up,” Li Beiting said, regaining his composure.

His deep eyes stared at Yu Weiwei, but he couldn’t see any reluctance in her eyes.

Perhaps, just as she wished, after their breakup, a bunch of guys were indeed waiting in line for her.

Perhaps she really had the intention to break up all along.

“From now on, let’s never see each other again,” Yu Weiwei said with a cold laugh.

The summer breeze stirred the leaves, the leaves whimpered, the sun set in the west – when would it return?

Birds flew carefreely, ripples occasionally disturbed the water’s surface, the surroundings were as picturesque as a painting, serene as water.

However, neither Li Beiting’s nor Yu Weiwei’s heart was at peace.

After uttering the last eight words, Yu Weiwei grabbed her backpack and ran off.

From now on, let’s never see each other again.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Please, Mr. Li, do not come to the Medical College looking for Yu Weiwei again.

Yu Weiwei ran over the fallen leaves, and with her footsteps, the leaves rustled, but the sound grew fainter and fainter…

Until it was no longer heard.

Her figure also gradually blended into a dot… He remembered she was wearing a blue dress that day.

A few days later, when Li Beiting called Yu Weiwei again, the voice on the other end of the phone announced, “I’m sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off.”

Later, he visited her school many times, always standing silently in the distance, watching her.

He never blocked her number, but she truly never called him again.

Her life seemed to return to normal; she laughed with classmates about gossip, discussed academia with her advisers.

Many times, he saw her walking shoulder to shoulder with the same boy, behaving very intimately.

Afterward, he stopped visiting the school…

Until two years post-breakup, at a dance, his family introduced Mi Fei to him.

It was not that Mi Fei was particularly outstanding, nor was she lackluster.

Seeing the eager eyes of his parents, he decided to give dating Mi Fei a try.

He used to think that forever, he’d have no more to do with Yu Weiwei. Sure enough, from the time they split, they had never met again.

He used to think he would just live a plain life forever.

Until, Xu Chaomu returned, and it was as if his ashen heart was reignited.

Turns out, everything can circle back to the beginning.

…

The sun was still scorching, Li Beiting’s convertible was driving as he encountered several red lights.

Every time he hit a red light, Li Beiting felt particularly impatient, even the summer breeze from the convertible top couldn’t soothe his heart.

Yu Weiwei’s little BMW flashed past in front, Li Beiting felt anxious, but with red lights ahead, there was nothing he could do.

As soon as the red light turned green, Li Beiting stepped on the gas and sped off.

But Yu Weiwei’s car turned a corner and suddenly disappeared from sight.

Li Beiting looked for a while but couldn’t find Yu Weiwei’s car.

Just as he was about to turn the corner in disappointment and head in another direction, a black Mercedes blocked his way.

He was very familiar with this Mercedes.

It was Mi Fei’s father’s car, indeed, sitting in the driver’s seat at this moment was Mi Fei’s father.

And in the passenger seat was Mi Fei herself.

The car came to a halt, and Mi Fei smiled and rolled down her window: “Beiting, what a coincidence, I didn’t expect to see you here. Aren’t you going to the company today?”

Li Beiting replied indifferently, “I’m meeting a client.”

“You must be busy, right? My dad is taking me to a party, would you like to join us?”

“No, the client is waiting for me,” Li Beiting declined calmly.

“Okay, then you be busy,” Mi Fei smiled and waved her hand.

However, the middle-aged man driving kept a stern expression and remained silent.

As Li Beiting’s car brushed past the black Mercedes, the driver’s window suddenly lowered.

“Beiting,” the man said in a deep voice.

“Uncle,” Li Beiting greeted respectfully.

“Is the company keeping you very busy lately? Why haven’t I seen your secretary?”

“It’s a bit busy, my secretary is at the office helping with work.”

“Oh, well, what a coincidence, my secretary just called me, saying there’s a document that needs to be reviewed later, regarding the project that the Li and Mi families are collaborating on.”
